The Jane Eyre ones are alarmingly reminiscent of Rick & Louis.

Yeah, the Ghost installments are fabulous. Really nice storytelling.

The Scarlett thing is so right on. Her relationship with Melanie is my favorite part of the whole book/movie. "Oh, Scarlett, you're so full of life." No. She is a FUCKED-UP BITCH.

I dunno, St. John doesn't come across as nearly creepy-Nice-Guys-Club enough for me here.

That movie was so disappointing. Why would you talk about feelings in a movie about butts? WE ARE NOT HERE FOR FEELINGS. WE ARE HERE FOR BUTTS.

No, no. The Jane Eyre ones were clever and Scarlett was funny and then suddenly we had that very sad ghost one? False advertising.

Oh my the Ghost ones are so surprisingly brilliant.

Here's a list of Signs You'll Never Read In Your Office's Communal Kitchen by the same author if you need cheering up again.

The texts from ghost made me cry at my desk when I first read them. It was embarassing and I love them so much.

I can't get over "pocket witch." That's a perfect mix of Jane Eyre's Rochester and modern-day sensibilities.

Also, Jane's inexplicably hearing Rochester call her name would make so much more sense he'd pocket-dialed her in the middle of one of his little melodramas and her iPhone was somewhere in the damned room, on speaker, but she couldn't find it.

I wasn't entirely sold on the Jane texts, and the Scarlett texts were amusing trifles (Scarlett and Prissy adopting txtspk is a nice detail) but the Ghost ones...wow.

Ghost. Hold me.

Gosh, thanks, Ghost, I had to sit in my car crying for a while after work.

Oh, I totally laughed at Scarlett and reposted it, but didn't read the Ghost stories til now. Oh, my heart. Who knew texts could be that beautiful?

I haven't read the others yet, but the Jane Eyre texts are basically perfect.

do you really want me to describe my walk to you
